Kippers, smoked in a traditional oven at the Buitenmuseum of the Enkhuizen Zuiderzeemuseum, North Holland, The Netherlands. The museum is devoted to preserving Enkhuizen's cultural heritage as well as the maritime history of the Zuiderzee, and since 1932, the IJsselmeer. Open year-round, it consists of an "indoor" and an "outdoor" museum, though the "outdoor" museum is only open in the summer. The "outdoor" museum was completed in 1983 and it recreates a village of small houses from all over the IJsselmeer region and represents the way people lived in the IJsselmeer in the 19th century and at the start of the 20th century. Enkhuizen was an important shipping port for centuries until the Zuiderzee was enclosed by the afsluitdijk ( a major causeway ) in 1932.
